【Kremlin Press Conference: Comments on Reuters' Report on the Restoration of the Soviet Union】

On December 22, 2025, Moscow time, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Russian President's Administration and Kremlin Spokesman, responded to questions from the Kremlin press corps:

First of all, we don't know how reliable they are. That's the first thing. We have indeed seen some scattered reports, but even if they are true, there are some erroneous reasoning, research, and conclusions in the intelligence. This is absolutely not true.

Earlier, Reuters cited U.S. intelligence sources reporting that Russian President Vladimir Putin has a plan to restore the Soviet Empire, attack Eastern European countries, and restore the Soviet sphere of influence in Europe.
